Gillett considers selling Montreal Canadiens

In case you haven’t heard, about 4-5 hours ago, several news outlets (here’s one) have reported that the Gillet family is selling the Montreal Canadians hockey team. I guess Mr. Gillet has had enough of his team losing and is wanting to get out before the team is worth nothing more than a stack of pennies. I really can’t blame him either. The whole 100th Anniversary thing is a joke now and needs not to be mentioned with the way the team is playing this season.

It was only last week that Bob Gainey fired head coach Guy Carbonneau, and we seriously have seen zero improvement in the way the Canadians are playing. You know who I blame? Carey Price. This kid has been spotted downtown more often than Hollywood “The Banana Guy”. Seriously, you can most likely find him at any of the higher end clubs smoking and getting shit-faced with a couple of locals. This type of behaviour is to be expected, since he’s from western Canada and they don’t exactly have nice clubs like Montreal does. Plus, he’s a country boy wanting to party with his new money. Yep, I blame Price.

Coach Carbonneau Fired

It’s just too bad that it came to this, but props to Gainey for taking the tough decision. Carbo is a great guy but it had come to a point where he was  taking the wrong coaching decisions and digging himself in a bigger whole, mainly because the players had given up on him.  Looking at Various reports, we can conclude that Carbo would not win any awards for communication skills…   Don Lever, the coach of the Bulldogs (the Canadiens farm Team)  is coming to Montreal to asssist  Gainey. The question is, can he be the next coach? even if he is not bilingual? If so, Gainey would once again take the tough decision as I can only imagine how the  French media would react with an anglo coach…
